MUSES RETREAT. TO DELIA. lovely maid, with downcast eye, And cheek with filentforrow pale, What gives tiay breast the lengthened sigh, That, heaving, tells a mornful tale ? Thy tear*, which thus each other chafe, Bespeak a heart o’ercharg’d with *oe; Thy sighs, a ftorni that wrecks thy peace,*" Which fouls like thine Ihould never know. Oh! tell me, doth some favor’d youth, Too often bleft, thy beauty flight, And leave those thrones of love and truth, That lip and bosom of delight ? Perhaps to nymphs of other fliades He feigns the foft, Impaffion’d tear) With vows their easy faith invades, That treacherous won thy artless ear. Let not those maids thy envy move, For whom his heart may seem to pine ; That heart can ne’er be bleft by love, Whofe guilt can force a pang from thine, of an English Speculator.

An unfortunate Taylor , who had com mitted some law business to the hand ofan Attorney, well praftifed in Im profellion, had a hill lent him some time since con taining fucha variety of unexpected charg es that the thought himfelf fleeced rhoft unmercifully. The only fatisfaCtion which occurred to him was to prevail on the con foieritiows Attorney tohaVea suit ofcloaths made, for which he, in his turn, gave in something like the following bill: To meafnring and taking or ' 1/ 0 (, g ders fora suit of clothes y J Warrant and inftruftions to 7 mv foreman for executing > 068 the fame y Going three times to the 7 0 6 8 woolen draper’s J 1 Fees to the woolen draper 4 4° Cutting out the cloth 068' Materials for working 1 16 o Trying the suit o 13 4 Alterations and amendments 1 j 1 o Entering it in my day book 0106 Polling it in mv ledger 0 68 Engrofiing the fame o 13 4 Writing to the button mer- 7 0 g chant, ( piling his declaration, sixteen 1 „ * „ facets 5 Fees to button merchant o 18 o Removing the suit from" try 7 house to Broadway 3 150 Removing it by Certiorari from 1 Broadway to your country > i 6 o house ) Waiting out a receipt with a 7 ftiimp, } »'»• Filing the fame o 6 8 Service of the fame 0 50 Ditto eight times more 100 jf.lß 18 2 By this bill he contrived to have a fuf ficient set off against the attorney, and ac ted, no doubt, on principles of equal fair nets and honesty. AN E CD O TE. The following ludicrous circitmftance actually occurred to a very refpc&able practitioner of forgery (not an hundred miles from Worcefler,) whose peculiar ghastliness of countenance, and thin, mea gre appearance, fubjeCt him to the con- Itnnt appellation of “ Death’s Head on a Mop-flick.” A country fellow having occafmned to cenfult him, direCted by the servant to a room up stairs, where he was informed hefnould find the Doctor. Honed Hodge atepndei the stairs, but niiftaking the door of the apartment, bounced into one where was, in an erc«ft poftnre, a human Hide- ; ton '—after a moment’* pause of horror, the r iftic made a molt precipitate retreat, his terrors preventing ariv explanation to the tervniHi, who, with astonishment, he hdd him darting through the kitchen and pillage, overtnrniugeverv thing in his wav.

French Logan. Prow the Connefkcut Cguttant> Hartford, July 0. Mejfrs. Hudson 6? Goodwin, I THINK the only man in the United States who is compe tent to fettle all differences between -us, and France, is that a furprifmg son of diplomacy, Dodlor George Logan, the Jefferfonian Ambassa dor Extraordinary to Joel Barlow and Talleyrand. Nothing in these wonder working days, can equal the talents of this marvellous man. When this country was plunging in to the horrors of war, and fire, blood and carnage seemed to await us—be hold ! the Dodlor unadvised, un protected, and with half a dozen other uns, set off for France, reach ed forth his potent hand, adminis tered his death preventing drugs, and lo! peace was restored to us. This is not all—the Dodlor has found out lately, that he made some notable difeoveries in France, about “ the moral and political fituation*’ of that beautified country’, and has favoured his countrymen with the fruit of his travels. He fays, “ that the country vvears the appearance of prosperity, farm-houfes are building, the cottagers are clothed, happy and content.’* It is likely enough this is true —they have stolen money and clothes enough in the course of the revolution, to fill their pockets and cover their Backs, and until this ntoney is spent, and these clothes worn out, I dare fay they will ap pear happy and content, like all 0- ther unpunished thieves. The Dodlor, fays he, “ found the roads good, and travelling perfedl ly fafe.” I take it he had a pass port from Merlin, the chief of the robbers and highwaymen, and that is always a protection to the bearer, as he is supposed to be one of the gang, and there is this fort of “ ho nor amongst thieves.” The Dodlor fays “ the municipal officers keep the public in a slate of tranquility, and are attentive to their fundlions.” Boubtlefs—their fundtion is to cut off the head of every man who of fends them* and who could not keep a country quiet, if he might murder every man who should make a noise? The Dodlor fays, “ the greatest order prevails in Paris.”— The fame means by which they keep the country silent operate in Paris in a tenfold degree—lt is not strange that the city is peaceable.— I dare fay it is as still as a burying yard. The Dodlor fays, “ the people of France believe religious establish ments are foreign to civil institu tions,” and therefore they have no religion at all. They are ed with atheism. However, the Dodlor fays, he was good enough to go to church once whilst he was in Paris. Good Dodlor, I hope you was edified. “ The Theophilan thropifls,” the Dodlor fays, “ are liketheNew England Independents, the Baptists and the Quakers.— They pray, fmg hymns, and every man who is gifted preaches a ser mon about liberty,” &c. It is pro bable then, that they all preach, for there never was a Frenchman but what was gifted at talking. The bunch hack Lepeaux is th<T head of this dub, he is one of the diredto ry, and every body know, as well as Dodlor Logan, that all the exe cutive diredlory are very pious, con feiauious gentlemen. The Dodlor then tells ns “ that die means of knowledge are in such profufm in Paris, that it is difficult for a student to make a choice a midst the variety.” Therejs no disputing the Dodtor here. Every | species of villainy is opemy taught in Paris, and there is no other sci ence attended rt>. The advantages of each kind are so tempting, that I dare fay the young man is puzzled to know whether he had better turn robber, highwayman, pirate, athe ist, keeper of a brothel, or mur derer. There is but a little to choole between them ; all are sure roads to preferment and eminence. The Dodtor fays, that <c the Lou vre is full of specimens of exqui site painting and sculpture.” It is probable that the diridtory have lodged theftatues & paintings there, which their worthy general Buona parte dole for them in Italy, &c. The Dodtor fays, he vilkedthe council of five hundred and the council of ancients, and the great ejl order and regularity were preserv ed in all their deliberations/’ “ I denounce all religion,” laid Le Ba boon—Applauses—“ Decreed.” — “ I move that the Tailors on board the British tyrant’s fleet may bite the duji ,” said de Puffe—Loud ap plauses—Decreed, and honorable mention in the Bulletin/’ “ I fear,” said Rantipole, “ that the Austri ans under the satellite Charles, com monly called the archduke, will drive our brave heroes out of Ger many again-*—Long and repeated murmurs at all the speech except, “ our brave heroes ” —feveral mem bers looked fierce at Rantipole the president put on his hat, and Ran tipole fat down confufed.” This is the order add regularity of these sapient bodies. “ Merlin, LepeauX, and Treil hard, are men of talents,” fays the Dodtor. They must be men of ta lents and shekels too, if they have kept half the money thpy have plun dered from mankind. “ The po pulation of France is thirty-five millions,” fays the Dodtor. They grow faft. At the beginning of the revolution, they counted twen ty millions, then twenty-five mil lions, and now they have encreafed to thirty-five millions. They have murdered and otherwise disposed of several millions since they began to be free , and yet they multiply as faft as the lice did in Egypt. I hope they will flop soon, or they will o verrun the whole world. The Doc tor fays, that “ during an awful mo ment of revolutionary frenzy, crimes were committed, in violation of the found principles of justice and hu manity.” Fye Dodtor! How can you fay so! What, Frenchmen com mit crimes ! Impossible ! “ But,” fays the Dodtor, “ these crimes have been condemned and punished by the nation,” No Dodtor, you are still mistaken—they never commit ted any crimes, and therefore could not be punilhed. Now Dodtor, you fee that I ajw prove of almost every thing you have said. You wrote the text, and I have written the paraphrase. You have painted France like the Gar den of Eden, and I have agreed to it. Now why did not you stop here ? But, you are the Cow'that gives a good mess of milk, and then kicks over the pail. Your con cluding sentence spoils the whole. The devil himfelf would not Aval low it. The rest of it might rub and go. But this would stick in the throat of a wbipper-will.— You fay, Dodtor, that “ at prefect; no go vernment in Europe is more firmly ejlablijhedi mere ably adminijlered, or better calculated to promote the gen eral httppinefs of its citizens , than , that of France .” Now Dodtor, not ' -ts ‘ H only you, and I, but every man, I woman, and child in the United 1 States knows, that this is a down. 1 right lie. Why Dodtor, if you were ] a member of the council of fl V r- I hundred, as you are of the legifl a . I ture of Pennsylvania, and should I go on a million to dome other ccun. 1 try from France, ks you did from 1 this country to France, of your o4n I head , it would be the last place y ou 1 would ever go to with a bead, un- i less perchance you might step off t 0 I Cayenne. Now, do you call this fl able administration ? No Dodfor I you ought to have duck to proba! 8 bilitv, and then all would have o one I off fwimmihgly- The pretty story I you tell about France would have 8 backed the nomination of a new 8 commission to treat with the raf- 1 cals, every body would have fop. 8 posed that the President was influ. ] enced to make the nomination by your address, and suggestions, you I would have been a Great Man, and I the President would have been left I to take care of himfelf. 1 BRISSOT.
